Why influencer marketing is one of the most important strategies in 2019
Social media and influencers are quickly becoming two of the most important aspects of digital marketing — helping brands spread the word and reach millions of customers worldwide.
Brands are now seeing influencers as the key to establishing an emotional connection between themselves and potential buyers.
And as an ever-changing and dynamic space, the importance of keeping up-to-date with social media marketing trends has never been more important. A recent NeoReach study found that for every dollar invested in influencer marketing campaigns, brands received an average return of $5.20 in earned media.
It is with this in mind that Talk Shop Media, one of Canada’s fastest growing agencies, has hired Canadian lifestyle influencer Krystin Lee as Business Director of Social Media, based out of the firm’s Toronto office.
